Within this context, the notion of Big Data opens up new analytical possibilities to investigate aspects of data resources such as variability, reliability and complexity. In practical terms, this is revolutionizing the way in which sales and marketing, academia and industry utilize data by incorporating unparalleled quantities and qualities of data from heterogeneous sources and generating new insights.
